Model-88-Lightning-and-Secondary-Surge-Protection

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The document describes the Model 88 Lightning and Secondary Surge Protection units designed for electronic pressure measurement products. These units are cost-effective and easy to install, providing protection against unexpected lightning or secondary surges on power/signal lines, thereby preventing damage to transmitters.
Key Features:
  • Designed for Model 88 transmitters.
  • Nanosecond, bipolar response for effective surge protection.
  • Compact size suitable for new or existing installations.
  • Maintenance-free operation enhances system integrity and reduces downtime.
Specifications:
  • Surge Current Rating: 30,000 amperes on an 8x20 µs wave.
  • Response Time: Less than 1 nanosecond.
  • Leakage: Very low, in the microampere range.
  • Clamping Voltage: 68V for currents from 0.01 to 10,000 amps, initially dropping to 30V due to the arcing voltage of the gas tube.
Installation Notes: Proper installation requires detailed grounding instructions, and AMETEK provides a specific installation drawing (#AK796334) upon request. The units cannot protect against direct lightning strikes or secondary strikes of significant magnitude.
Ordering Information: The product can be ordered using Part No. Z100521, which includes the kit and an instruction sheet.

Model-88-Lightning-and-Secondary-Surge-Protection-1

Product Data ELECTRONIC PRESSURE MEASUREMENT PRODUCTS Model 88 Lightning and Secondary Surge Protection DESCRIPTION These low-cost lightning protection units are easy to install in the head of the transmitter. If an unexpected lightning or secondary surge should occur on the power/ signal line, the unit will clamp the lines, preventing any excessive voltage from damaging the transmitter. This saves you the cost of down-time and replacement. The lightning protection units are completely maintenance-free. They are for use on our Model 88 4 to 20 mA Transmitters, up to 40 VDC line to line and either line to ground. Protection is provided between red and green, black and green, and red and black wires. Either polarity of surge is equally clamped. FEATURES ●● Protection for Model 88 transmitters (shown at right) ●● Nanosecond, bipolar response ●● Powerful surge protection Part #Z100521 Lightning Protection Unit From AMETEK PMT ●● Small, compact size ●● New or existing installation ●● Enhances system integrity ●● Reduces downtime ●● Maintenance free This or any installation cannot protect against a direct lightning strike or secondary strikes of sufficient magnitude. AMETEK cannot accept responsibility for damage due to lightning or secondary surges. Proper installation including grounding requires detailed installation drawing. Consult factory for #AK796334.
